I have been researching upgrading from Backup Exec 2010 to 2012 and have seen a lot of grumbling about the change from job-centric to server-centric backups. I have over 120 servers that i have neatly broke out into 12 different jobs on 2010 according to encryption requirements, server type, and so forth. From my understanding, after the upgrade, I will have 1 job for each server. That is over 120 jobs to manage individually. I am worried that my tape library will explode with over 120 media moves, mounts, and dismounts in one night! This seems to be a step backwards for the product in terms of ease of use and manageability also. Can someone please give me some in-site and comments on their experience with 2012 and how it affected your daily work flow?
And please no links to videos/commercials on how "great" the new product is. I would like honest, real world answers before I decide to upgrade or start searching for a new product.
